Dawn of War 4 developer King Art knows what you all really want: ‘Overwhelmingly, it’s singleplayer content and the campaign’

The RTS game genre has shifted focus from high-quality singleplayer campaigns to competitive multiplayer and esports, leaving some fans feeling neglected. Stormgate, a recent title, struggled with an incomplete campaign, failing to capture player attention. In contrast, Dawn of War 4 is prioritizing narrative-driven experiences, with a commitment to delivering compelling singleplayer content. The game will feature four substantial campaigns, each dedicated to a different faction, along with a tutorial and over 70 missions. While multiplayer will be included, the developers emphasize the importance of singleplayer experiences in evoking nostalgia and impacting player preferences.

A veteran Final Fantasy programmer hates how indie games deliberately recreate PS1 visual bugs he made ‘many futile efforts’ to fix: ‘I just don’t get what’s so interesting about trying to replicate that’

Veteran programmer Koji Sugimoto criticized the trend of emulating retro visual glitches in modern games, particularly the revival of the affine texture warping effect from the original PlayStation. He expressed his discontent on August 5, lamenting that what was once a frustrating limitation is now celebrated as a charming quirk. Sugimoto previously described the deliberate use of warped textures as “detestable” and highlighted the challenges developers faced in overcoming these visual distortions.

4 PC-exclusive classics that deserve a modern remake

Vampire: The Masquerade — Bloodlines (2004) is a flawed masterpiece that struggled with bugs and unfinished elements at release but features sharp writing and memorable characters. A modern remake could refine its dialogue and enhance gameplay. The first Witcher game, while adhering to the source material and featuring strong character development, suffers from clunky mechanics and performance issues. Rumors suggest a remake is in the works to update controls and accessibility. Half-Life 2 (2004) set a new standard for first-person shooters but has aged, particularly in visual fidelity. A modern remake could enhance graphics and AI, and address unresolved plot points. Thief: The Dark Project (1998) introduced stealth mechanics focused on subtlety and patience. A modern remake could improve its mechanics with advanced AI and ray-traced lighting, redefining the stealth genre.
